Car Rental in Kutaisi Airport
Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) has become one of the busiest low-cost entry points
into Georgia, thanks to a steady run of budget flights from across Europe. It’s also,
geographically, one of the best-placed airports in the country — closer to Imereti’s caves
and canyons than either Tbilisi or Batumi, and roughly equidistant between the two if
you’re planning to cover the whole country in one trip.

Why Rent a Car in Kutaisi AIrport
Kutaisi Airport sits well outside the city centre, and there’s no train connection and limited
bus service to the sites most arriving travellers actually want to see. Renting at the terminal
means your first drive is straight to Prometheus Cave or Martvili Canyon, not a taxi into
Kutaisi followed by a second trip to find a rental office
| Option | First Step After Landing | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi into Kutaisi + City Rental | Two transfers, two waits | $20+ taxi + rental fee |
| Public Bus to City Centre | Slow, infrequent, no onward connection | Low cost, high time |
| Geolander Terminal Pickup | Car waiting at arrivals | No extra transfer cost |
Why Choose Car Rent Deme
The Kutaisi Airport fleet leans toward SUVs and 4x4s, since a large share of arriving
travellers head straight for Okatse, Martvili, or the Racha mountains — several of which
involve unpaved or steep stretches. Sedans remain available for those staying closer to the
city or sticking to paved-road stops like Prometheus Cave and Sataplia. Because the local
fleet is smaller than Tbilisi’s or Batumi’s, confirming your class in advance over WhatsApp
is worth doing before you fly.
No Hidden Deposit
Pay the rental price you see — no blocked funds, no surprise holds at pickup.

Questions on the road? A real person replies day or night, in English or Georgian.
Budget-airline arrivals into Kutaisi are often late at night or early morning, which is exactly
when rental counters are short-staffed and shuttle buses run infrequently. Geolander’s
terminal pickup is designed around that reality.
Best Time to Rent & Road Conditions
Georgia’s mountain passes change with the season — here’s what to expect and which car fits.
Spring
All passes reopen. Roads can be wet — sedan for Kakheti, 4x4 recommended for Kazbegi.
Summer
Peak season, every road open including Tusheti. Any vehicle class works well.
Autumn
Kakheti wine harvest season. Higher mountain routes start needing a 4x4.
Winter
Snow on mountain passes. 4x4 with winter tyres required for Kazbegi and Svaneti.
Pricing & Included Services
Every airport pickup includes full insurance, unlimited mileage, free terminal delivery,
winter tyres in season, a free second driver, and 24/7 roadside assistance — the same
inclusions as an in-city Kutaisi rental, with no airport surcharge
| Class | Approx. Price (per day) | Example Cars |
|---|---|---|
| Economy / Sedan | $28–40/day | Toyota Camry, Hyundai Accent |
| SUV | $40–55/day | Mitsubishi Outlander |
| 4×4 | $50–70/day | Jeep Wrangler |
Longer rentals (7+ days) typically bring the daily rate down — ask on WhatsApp for a multi
day quote before booking.

Amazing experience! The RAV4 handled the mountain roads perfectly. Geolander made everything so easy with airport delivery. Highly recommended!

Perfect road trip across Georgia. The car was in great condition and the team was incredibly responsive on WhatsApp. Will use Geolander again!

Explored Svaneti with the Tucson. Great value for money. The team helped us plan our route and suggested amazing places we wouldn’t have found otherwise.

What our customers say
Do I need a deposit to rent a car in Tbilisi?
No. Geolander doesn’t hold a security deposit —
you pay the rental price only, with full insurance already included.
Can I pick up the car at Tbilisi Airport?
Yes, free delivery and pickup is available at Tbilisi
International Airport and anywhere in the city — see our dedicated Tbilisi Airport page for
the terminal pickup process
What documents do I need?
A valid driving licence held for at least one year, your passport, and a payment card in the driver’s name.
Do I need a 4x4 for Kazbegi or Kakheti?
A sedan is fine for Kakheti’s paved routes. For Kazbegi, Gudauri or Svaneti, a 4×4 is strongly recommended outside summer.
What's the best time of year to rent in Tbilisi?
May–October gives the widest choice of open mountain roads. December–March still works for Tbilisi and Kakheti, with a 4×4 for the high passes
Can I return the car in a different city?
Yes — one-way drop-off in Batumi or Kutaisi is available for a small relocation fee.
